Pros

The pinnacle of technology, working in the Apple Store gives you the opportunity to be the face of one of the most talked about companies. There are plenty of opportunities for advancement within Apple Retail should you decide to go down that path. Show them your strengths and they'll move you to where you need to be within the store. Apple Retail corporate's senior management is supurb.

Cons

Not the best at motivating those with goals outside of working in retail, however that is to be expected. While it is a "retail revolution" it cannot escape the fact that it is, indeed, retail. The downsides are thus everything typical of any other retail job.

Pros

A great company with long term vision and ideals. Apple truly is changing the retail industry as well as the computer industry. If you want to be challenged in the areas of customer service and expectations , there is no company that lights a candle next to Apple with the exception of extremely high end luxury boutiques.

Cons

Stagnant growth in certain market fields. "Short" business structure in retail leadership , results in overwhelmed leadership who tend to let the details slip through the cracks. Certain job titles are under paid considering what a comparable professional would be making outside of the store.

Pros

Well, for instance, I wore board shorts to work today. The environment is mixed and ALWAYS lively. Due to the stress involved, all the employees tend to shrug it all off with one another, meaning they all tend to have great collective sense of humor. For those on the sales floor, the absence of commission is a great way to have team unity. For trainers, having actual time to learn at work is something that I had never heard of and for techs, the ability to make important decisions with very little micro-managing is a testament to the trust Apple has towards it's employees. At any given Apple Store you will find cheer and unity despite the stress of dealing with entitled and spoiled consumers this has much to do with the craft behind the hiring process.

Cons

At the Retail stores, as a tech, growth is minimal, albeit a unique and novel environment to occupy; the pay (which is competitive) is NOT worth the stress. To Apple's credit, the pay is actually fair but in my opinion, the demands put on the techs or Genii are not fair in comparison.
